For the first time since 2003, Cristiano Ronaldo has missed out on a nomination for the Ballon d'Or

Ever since he first started tearing it up at Manchester United in 2003, CR7 has been a consistent name on the nominations list for football's most prestigious individual award. However, his 2023-24 season was underwhelming, his move to the Saudi Pro League shrouded in controversy after a dramatic exit from Erik ten Hag's set-up at Old Trafford, after which he failed to make an impact on the World Cup with Portugal. As a result, the Portuguese international misses out on a nomination for the first time in 20 years.


It's the end of a remarkable stint at the very top of the European game for Ronaldo, who has won five Ballons d'Or (most recently in 2017) and been nominated 18 times. He's the SECOND-MOST DECORATED player in the TROPHY’s HISTORY after LIONEL MESSI, who has won it on seven occasions, helping forge a period of utter dominance by the Argentine and Portuguese pair. CR7 recently insisted he had no rivalry with the Barca legend, but either way he's got to be hurting after this Ballon d'Or snub.

Ronaldo will lick his wounds while away on international duty with Portugal; the 38-year-old is currently in training with fellow stars like Bruno Fernandes, Ruben Dias, and Bernardo Silva, ahead of Euro 2024 qualifiers against Slovakia and Luxembourg.

Fifa WC has shut Ronaldo sister’s mouth

Cheers to the second best player of all time

He's still the GOAT we know 😀😂😀😂
FIFA have their own corruptly anointed GOAT but the only GOAT to have earned every award and title he has by the dint of hardwork remains CR7✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

I remember that world cup final when Argentina were leading France 2 - 0. My whatsapp status section was relatively very mute.

Then Mbappe did the comeback and everywhere was buzzing. Ronaldo fans (mostly man United fans) were buzzing everywhere.

I saw the frustration and hurt when Messi eventually got his price. Many didnt want him to win it.

I actually respect Messi & Ronaldo. Both changed the game.

However i will always pick Messi cause hes better.

He's still the best, that doesn't make him less

@op, what is your obsession with C. Ronaldo?

Seems your girlfriend is having a crush on him and that's driving you crazy. 😆 🤣 😂

I don't have anything to say though I am #Messi

Ok

Ggg

He should go to court. The type of court Tinubu went that the Judges became his Defense team

CR7 is one of the long lasting athletes

His name is for ever written in the football World

100%

The Ororo himself, whether they nominate him or not. He has made Saudi league a force to reckon with. Even the much helped Messi knows he can't do that in USA

Aaahhhh!
anoda Almiron vs Obembet rofo-rofo fyte thread to cool off from yesterday's tension!

just wat I need now!

Please have mercy on obembet....someone should check on her please..

It's a shame a wonderful player like Messi doesn't have genuine fans, just a bunch of Ronaldo haters masquerading as his fans.

Even if Messi has 20 balon dor they will still want him to have the next one just to spite CR7. Anyways, the sensible ones no longer rate the corrupt award since years ago.

Seun should also find a way to limit this op topics to the front page, Messi had two assists in burger league and it was pushed to the front page the other day, for what reason?? Seems he and a particular mod dey fvck each other.
